Biography
Ilona Staller was born in Budapest, Hungarian People's Republic on 26 November 1951, the daughter of a midwife and a Ministry of the Interior official. In 1964, she began working as a model for the MTI news agency while working as a hotel maid; she had previously given information on American diplomats at the hotel to the government. She met and married an older Italian national and moved to Italy with him during the 1970s, and she became a radio host and an adult film actress during the late 1970s. Her first parliamentary campaign occurred in 1979, in which she won the nomination of a small green party. In 1985, she switched to the Radical Party of Italy and opposed NATO membership and nuclear energy, also campaigning for human rights. She was elected to the Chamber of Deputies with 20,000 votes, serving from 1987 to 1992. When the Gulf War began, she offered to have sex with Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in exchange for peace in the region. That same year, she founded the Party of Love with Moana Pozzi, and she left parliament in 1992. Her future political ambitions in Italy and Hungary would not succeed, but she remained a popular figure in Italy due to her political and cultural legacy.
